“Saturday Night Live” (5.1/12 in metered-market households) hosted by Jesse Eisenberg with musical guest Nicki Minaj and a special appearance by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, dominated its time period. Versus the same night last year, “SNL” is up 1 percent in metered-market households (5.1 versus 5.0).
In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, “Saturday Night Live” averaged a 3.2 rating, 14 share in adults 18-49, making it the #1 non-sports telecast of the night, ahead of all primetime entertainment programs on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox.
In the 25 Local People Meter markets, “Saturday Night Live” tied the September 25 season premiere as the second-highest-rated edition of the season in 18-49, behind only the January 8 telecast, which benefited from a high-rated primetime NFL game on NBC that night.
